I dunno. Seems like you allready have most of what you need. just
exchange the "mv -i" with "tar -zAF" ~/.Trash.tgz" $asolutename
(appending/prepending the timestamp to the file name is left as an
exercise to the reader :-) )

I take it you mean
absolutename="${here}/${i}" ?
This still has one problem: we have to treat deletions with absolute
pathnames.. there should be a command or something: `fullname`.. :)

Yeah.. it would be kind of boring to treat that. At least you'll know
with -i.

That sounds pretty good..
I wonder if it would be easy to pull this functionality out of
nautilus to the command line, since it implements it reasonably well.
Should be for anyone involved with it.

Quick solution:
here=`pwd`
for i in $*; do
absolutename="/${i}"
dn=`dirname $i`
bn=`basename $i`
name=$dn/$bn
echo $absolutename >> ~/.trashdb;
done
mv -i $* ~/.Trash;
You still have the massive probleme of files that all posses the same
basename even though they came from different directories.
Best bet - append the file being "trashed" to an existing gzipped tar
archive. This way the full pathname can be saved with each file nad each
file can besaved mutiple times in the archive. To save pain at a later
date you can prepend each pathname with a "date_and_timestamp" making
it easier to name each version of the same file uniquely and allow
each one to be manipulated individually.

I'm not sure this is what you want, but you could use:
del() { mv -i $* ~/.Trash; }
You can put it in ~/.bashrc
You should find a lot about this searching around.. you shouldn't use
rm as the new command's name, to keep the respect for it.
On this subject, if anyone can help:
I'm trying to make it better, something like:
for i in $*; do

RE: alias
Ahhh.. Always important to include details. Many ways to handle this, first of all, you can override unix permissions with a samba share, and only set the valid users list to any arbitrary samba user. You can also use the username map. You can also add another user with a UID and GID of '0', and that will work as well. samba example: [etc] browseable = no writeable = yes delete readonly = yes path = /etc only user = yes force group = root force user = root create mode = 644 user = jms note: this will force user & group permission on changed files to be root. That is not necessarily desirable. However, for simple cases, this would be fine and more detailed administration should happen via Putty, or SSH or whatever. js On Mon, 2003-02-03 at 20:11, Larry Brown wrote: > What prompted this line of questioning was the idea that in a closed and > safe environment one could use this method to set up an alias for root as > say...administrator.

I am working on a project where we are integrating the first samba server into a small NT network. As it is my first experience with a windows NT domain environment and the sysadmin (my brother) is not very linux savvy yet we were discussing today the best way for him to view the logs from windows, as he can for the three NT servers without having to log onto the box and going to the other tool. One of the things we discussed but have not tested is sharing /var/log and only granting access to the admin group. At least he can explore the dir and click on the logs to read them.

Re: Alias Substitution
This question has already been properly answered by explaining the use of
functions in bash which are used to replace csh style parameterized
aliases. But the particular question begs for one more comment:
You can say
CDPATH='.:~'
in your .bashrc, or you can just say
export CDPATH='.:~'
in your .bash_profile

A script is no more than a bunch of command line "commands" put
together. Stick the above in your ~/.bashrc and it will work.
I have tried it already. Alternatively, you can type it on the
"command line" everytime you login, but that would be tedious, so
stick it in your startup "script," ~/.bashrc.
Hope that clarifies things.

No, it doesn't always. For instance: % /bin/ls -a --color > foo % cat -v foo ^[[01;34m.^[[0m ^[[01;34m..^[[0m ^[[0mfoo^[[0m With --color, any programs which take the ouput of ls through, say, a pipe will be confused by the escape codes. The --color=tty option will only output escape sequences (and colors) to the screen. sb -- "Men of lofty genius are most active when they are doing the least work". -- Leonardo da Vinci -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Re: alias color in ls
edit .bashrc in your home directory and add alias ls='ls --color=yes' or to make it global for all users add it to /etc/bashrc Dan At 05:27 PM 3/23/98 -0600, Joey Officer wrote: >I tried to setup color to be added when I do an > >ls -l -color > >but it says >ls: unrecognized option `--color' > >how do I setup the ls so that I can add color? > >Joey > >Linux 3.0.3 Picasso > > >-- > PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! >http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists > To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > "unsubscribe" as the Subject. > -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Try this too: Alias ls='ls -color=tty' You do that on the command line each time you start a shell, or, put it in the .bashrc file. -Original Message- From: Dan Cyr [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 1998 12:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; RedHat TechLine Subject: Re: alias color in ls edit .bashrc in your home directory and add alias ls='ls --color=yes' or to make it global for all users add it to /etc/bashrc Dan At 05:27 PM 3/23/98 -0600, Joey Officer wrote: >I tried to setup color to be added when I do an > >ls -l -color > >but it says >ls: unrecognized option `--color' > >how do I setup the ls so that I can add color? > >Joey > >Linux 3.0.3 Picasso > > >-- > PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! >http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists > To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > "unsubscribe" as the Subject. > -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
